I will swap out 2 prepackaged snacks a day for fresh fruits or veggies.

When possible, I will not use disposable bags when shopping, including produce bags.

I will give up gum or choose gum made from chicle or other plastic-free gum bases.

I will recycle used contact lenses and packaging.

I will switch to a plastic-free toothpaste — whether purchased or DIY'd.

The numbers #1-7 on plastics tell us a lot - and can help us be better recyclers. I will learn what these numbers mean and which types of plastics are accepted for recycling in my area.
